Synopsis

This book contains a collection of papers from the special issue on the global perspective on meteotsunami science, published in Vol. 106 (2) of the journal Natural Hazards. By topic, the contributions are covering overview studies, case studies of actual events, introduction of new insights into meteotsunami modelling, new techniques in meteotsunami monitoring and detection, and those describing meteotsunami operational and forecast systems. More than half of all papers describe specific meteotsunami events observed in most of the world ocean basins, some others at a rudimentary level recall previous extreme episodes, while several papers contain thorough analysis of either atmospheric conditions or oceanic sea-level response.

The book is intended for specialists in oceanography and atmospheric sciences, tsunami and fluid dynamics scientists, climatologists, coastal hazard agencies and managers, ocean engineers and many others, including students and science policy-makers, inparticular in the regions affected by this potentially destructive coastal hazard.

The chapters "Proudman resonance with tides, bathymetry and variable atmospheric forcings", "Long wave generation and coastal amplification due to propagating atmospheric pressure disturbances", "On the potential of ensemble forecasting for the prediction of meteotsunamis in the Balearic Islands: sensitivity to atmospheric model parameterizations", and "Combined hazard of typhoon-generated meteorological tsunamis and storm surges along the coast of Japan" are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ivica Vilibic is an oceanographer employed by the Ruđer Boskovic Institute (IRB), Croatia, following previous engagements in the Croatian Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries and Hydrographic Institute. He has been engaged in developing, promoting and directing of the meteotsunami science for almost 20 years. In all of his research, that included various oceanic, atmospheric, climate and environmental topics spanning over a variety of timescales, from minutes to decades, he published about 135 research papers, and leaded and participated in dozens of international projects. In 2019, he was the chief organiser of the First World Conference on Meteotsunamis, held in Split, Croatia. His activities also span over international (European) and national science policy issues, research integrity investigations and varia.

Alexander B. Rabinovich is an internationally recognized research scientist working at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow, Russia)and at the Institute of Ocean Sciences, Department of Fisheries and Oceans (Sidney, BC, Canada). Dr. Rabinovich specializes in research on tsunamis, tides, seiches and other types of sea level variability. He began his work on meteorological tsunamis about 30 years ago, and is considered one of the pioneers in the examination of this hazardous phenomenon throughout the World Ocean. He is the author and coauthor of over 150 peer-reviewed publications, including articles in Science and Nature, and has been the guest editor in leading primary journals on 13 topical issues on tsunamis, tides and meteotsunamis. Since 2015, he has served as the Editor-in-Chief of Pure and Applied Geophysics, Springer (Regular issues/Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences).

Eric J. Anderson is a physical scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), USA, in Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL). He has led hydrodynamic research at GLERL for over ten years and servedas the lead developer of NOAA's Great Lakes Operational Forecast System. He has focused on meteotsunami prediction since an event on Lake Erie in 2012. He is author of over 50 peer reviewed publications and received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2019.
